Primary Pulmonary Hypertension (PPH)

Primary Pulmonary Hypertension (PPH) is a rare and incurable lung disease. It progresses over time and causes overwhelming pressure in the pulmonary artery that connects the lung to the heart. This pressure puts a lot of stress on the heart and eventually the capillaries and arteries will fatally shut down.

There is a connection between PPH and some diet drugs such as Fen-Phen, Redux and Pondimin. The FDA removed these very popular diet drugs from the market in 1997 and since then there has been an extraordinary number of new PPH cases.

The lawyers at Simien & Simien, LLC understand the relationship between PPH and the removed diet drugs that have caused so much harm. If you or someone you love has been diagnosed with Primary Pulmonary Hypertension you may be entitled to compensation. We will review your case and help you determine the best course of action for you and your family. Our attorneys are focused, dedicated and they have the experience you need to attain a successful conclusion to your case. Contact Simien & Simien, LLC today.
